Elon Musk heads to the Pentagon, sparking controversy
Briefly

Elon Musk's planned visit to the Pentagon has sparked controversy due to the possibility of him receiving a briefing on U.S. military plans regarding China. According to reports, this briefing would involve secretive military strategies with insights on conflict readiness with China. President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have publicly denied that the meeting pertains to these top-secret plans, characterizing it instead as an informal discussion about innovation. Musk has also criticized media coverage, claiming misinformation about the briefing's purpose.
"The top-secret briefing that exists for the China war plan has about 20 to 30 slides that lay out how the United States would fight such a conflict."
"How ridiculous. China will not even be mentioned or discussed," Trump wrote.
"This is NOT a meeting about 'top secret China war plans.' It's an informal meeting about innovation, efficiencies & smarter production."
